TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Inked: Outgoing Republican South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace is leaving office on a colorful note when she steps aside in January. The Gateway Pundit reveals that she’s now appearing on camera in sleeveless tops displaying multiple vibrant tattoos on both arms. It’s all part of a head-spinning rebrand for the 48-year-old right-wing, controversy-courting politician. She just launched a YouTube show called “Get Maced.” (Personally, I like “Mace in Your Face” better.) The tattoos and slinky tops are a clever way of attracting attention to her new venture supposedly available on her official Congresswoman Mace YouTube channel (although I couldn’t find it)...It’s about time: It just dawned on the National Review that vaccine-skeptic RFK Jr. might have some role in the highest number of measles cases in more than three decades....The weeklong Townhall Gulf of Americas cruise sets sail November 21 from Fort Lauderdale with stops in the Bahamas, Jamaica and Cozumel. The featured conservative speakers are not quite an A-list of MAGA world and include CNN’s Scott Jennings, right-wing Los Angeles radio host Jennifer Horn, and Townhall’s  top editor Larry O’Connor. Cabins start at $1,848. I think it would be a hoot if a lefty outlet like The Nation dispatched a writer to cruise with those fun-loving conservatives and file a report...This Fox News op-ed will probably be my favorite right-wing story of the week.  Here’s the on-the-nose headline and subhead: “America needs to stop turning every purchase into an uncomfortable tip request. Businesses are using behavioral marketing to pressure customers instead of honestly raising prices.” That's a bipartisan message everyone can embrace. Thanks Fox!...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

They have NO say and absolutely ZERO command authority.
